I have the very best memories of your mother Jeff, and everyone. She was funny, kind, sharp, and beautiful and as a small child I so clearly remember gravitating to her. She was definitely one of the good ones. My mom would wash our mouths out with soap for swearing. Your mom would cuddle us. Such a doll. And 60 years later Kosta and I would bump into her at the Englewood pancake house. Always with that same warm smile. Marilyn Chaus, you will be missed. Rest In peace.
